And it is also necessary to indicate in the document an email address where the website user can contact in order to revoke their consent and delete personal data.
The company owner must approve the Personal Data Processing Policy by order and post it on the website. The simplest implementation is to add a link to the relevant document or page in the website footer.
All new users of the site are warned that the site collects user metadata (cookies, IP address and location data). If the user does not want this data to be processed, he/she must leave the site.
Find out where the website database is stored. Federal Law No. 242-FZ requires collecting, systematizing, accumulating, storing, clarifying (updating, changing), extracting personal data of Russian citizens by using databases on the territory of the Russian Federation. That is, the law prohibits collecting and storing this data abroad. You can find out where the website database is located from your hosting provider.

It is not necessary to confirm the operator status in Roskomnadzor, but it is necessary to notify it about this so that the organization can be included in the register of personal data operators.
